Matthew 14
1 During that time Herod [Antipas], the ruler, heard reports about Jesus [performing miracles].
In jener Zeit hörte Herodes, der Vierfürst, das Gerücht von Jesus.
2 He said to his servants: “That must be John the Baptizer. He must have risen from the dead, and that is why he has power to perform miracles.”
Und er sprach zu seinen Knechten: Dieser ist Johannes der Täufer; er ist von den Toten auferstanden, und darum wirken die Kräfte in ihm.
3 The reason [Herod thought that was this: Herod had married] Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, [while Philip was still living. So] John had been saying to him, “[What] you [did by] marrying [your brother’s wife while your brother is still alive is against God’s] law!” Then, to [please] Herodias, Herod [told his soldiers] to arrest John. They bound him with chains and put him in prison.
Denn Herodes hatte Johannes ergriffen, ihn gebunden, und in das Gefängnis gelegt, von wegen Herodias, dem Weibe seines Bruders Philippus.
Denn Johannes sagte zu ihm: Es ist dir nicht erlaubt, sie zu haben.
5 Herod wanted to have John executed, but he was afraid that the people [who had accepted what John taught would riot if he did that], because they believed that John was a prophet.
Und er wollte ihn töten, fürchtete aber das Volk, denn sie hielten ihn für einen Propheten.
6 But when Herod [gave a party to celebrate] his birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for [his guests]. This pleased Herod.
Da aber Herodes seinen Jahrestag beging, tanzte die Tochter der Herodias in ihrer Mitte, und gefiel dem Herodes.
7 So he promised to give her whatever she asked, and he asked God to punish him if he did not do what he had promised.
Daher versprach er eidlich, ihr zu geben, um was sie auch bitte.
8 [So Herodias’ daughter went and asked her mother what to ask for]. Her mother told her to ask for John the Baptizer’s head. [So] her daughter [went back and] said [to Herod]: “[Cut off] the head of John the Baptizer and [please] bring it here on a platter [so that my mother can know for sure that he is dead!]”
Sie aber, bearbeitet von ihrer Mutter, sagte: Gib mir, hier auf einer Schüssel, das Haupt des Johannes, des Täufers.
9 The king was distressed because he now knew he should not have made that promise to her. [But] because he had made an oath [in front of] his guests [when he made that promise], and [he did not want] them [to think that he would not do what he had promised], he commanded that [the girl] be given [what she requested].
Und der König ward traurig; doch um der Eide willen und derer, die mit zu Tische lagen, befahl er es zu geben.
10 He sent [the executioner to go to] the prison and to cut off John’s head.
Und sandte, und ließ Johannes im Gefängnis enthaupten;
11 [The executioner did that, and] put John’s head on a platter and gave it to the girl. Then the girl took it to her mother.
Und sein Haupt ward auf einer Schüssel gebracht, und der Dirne gegeben, und sie brachte es ihrer Mutter.
12 John’s disciples then went [to the prison], took John’s body and buried it, and they reported to Jesus [what had happened].
Und es kamen seine Jünger herbei, nahmen den Leichnam, und begruben ihn, und kamen und verkündigten es Jesus.
13 After Jesus heard that, he took [just us disciples] with him and we went by boat [on Galilee Lake to an uninhabited place]. Matthew 14:13-21 After the crowds heard [that we had gone to an uninhabited place], they [left their towns and] followed Jesus, walking along the shore.
Da das Jesus hörte, entwich er von dannen in einem Boot an einen wüsten Ort, bei Seite. Und als es die Volkshaufen hörten, folgen sie ihm zu Fuß nach von den Städten.
14 When Jesus came [to the shore], he saw a large crowd of people [who had gathered there, waiting for him]. He felt sorry for them, and he healed those [among them who were] sick.
Und als er hervorkam, sah er viel Volk, und erbarmte sich über sie, und heilte ihre Kranken.
15 When it was [nearly] evening, we disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, and it is very late. Dismiss the crowds so that they can go into the [nearby] towns. [Have them do that so that they can] buy food for themselves.”
Am Abend aber kamen seine Jünger zu ihm, und sprachen: Wüste ist der Ort, und die Zeit ist vorüber, entlaß die Volkshaufen, daß sie hingehen in die Dörfer, und sich Speise kaufen.
16 But Jesus said to us, “They do not need to leave [to get food. Instead], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!”
Jesus aber sprach zu ihnen: Sie haben nicht nötig fortzugehen; gebt ihr ihnen zu essen.
17 We said to him, “But we have only five loaves of bread and two [cooked] fish here!”
Sie aber sagen ihm: Wir haben hier nichts, denn fünf Brote und zwei Fische.
18 He said [to us], “Bring them to me!”
Und er sprach: Bringet mir sie herbei!
19 He told the people [who had gathered there] to sit on the grass. Then he took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven, thanked [God for them], and broke [them into pieces]. Then he gave them to us disciples, and we distributed them to the crowd.
Und er befahl, daß sich die Volkshaufen hinlegen sollten auf das Gras, nahm die fünf Brote und die zwei Fische, und aufblickend gen Himmel, dankte er, brach es, und gab die Brote den Jüngern, die Jünger aber den Volkshaufen.
20 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they had enough to eat. Then we [disciples] gathered the pieces that were left over, [and we] filled twelve baskets with them.
Und es aßen alle, und wurden satt, und sie hoben auf, was übrig blieb von Brocken, zwölf Körbe voll.
21 Those who ate were about 5,000 men. [We did] not [count the] women and children!
Und die gegessen hatten, waren bei fünftausend Mann, ohne Weiber und Kinder.
22 Right after that happened, Jesus told us disciples to get in the boat and to go ahead of him further around [the lake] while he dismissed the crowds.
Und alsbald nötigte er die Jünger in das Boot zu steigen, und vor ihm hinüber zu fahren ans jenseitige Ufer, bis er die Volkshaufen entließe.
23 After he dismissed them, he went up into the hills to pray by himself. When it was evening, he was [still] there alone.
Und da er die Volkshaufen entlassen hatte, stieg er auf den Berg für sich, um zu beten. Als es aber Abend geworden war, war er allein daselbst.
24 [By this time] we were already many hundred meters from the shore. The boat was being severely tossed around by the waves {The waves were severely tossing the boat} because the wind was [blowing] against [it].
Das Boot aber war schon mitten auf dem See, und sie waren in Not wegen der Wellen, denn der Wind war ihnen zuwider.
25 [Then Jesus came down from the hills to the lake]. Some time between three and six o’clock in the morning he walked on the water toward our [boat].
Aber in der vierten Nachtwache kam er zu ihnen, und wandelte auf dem See.
26 When we disciples saw someone walking on the water, we thought that [we must be seeing] a ghost. We were terrified, and we screamed out because we were afraid.
Und als ihn die Jünger auf dem See wandeln sahen, erschraken sie, und sprachen: Es ist eine Erscheinung. und schrieen vor Furcht.
27 Immediately Jesus said to us, “Cheer up! It is I. Do not be afraid!”
Alsbald redete aber Jesus mit ihnen, und sprach: Seid getrost! Ich bin es. Fürchtet euch nicht!
28 Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is you, tell me to walk on the water to you!”
Petrus aber antwortete ihm, und sprach: Herr, wenn du es bist, so befiehl, daß ich auf den Gewässern zu dir komme.
29 Then Jesus said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
Er aber sprach: Komm! Und Petrus stieg hinab vom Boot, und wandelte auf dem Gewässer, um zu Jesus zu kommen.
30 But when Peter looked at the [tossing waves which] the strong wind [caused], he became afraid. He began to sink, and cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Als er aber sah, daß der Wind stark war, fürchtete er sich, und fing an unterzusinken, schrie, und sprach: Herr, rette mich!
31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and grabbed him. He said to Peter, “You only trust a little bit [in my power] (Why did you doubt [that I could keep you from sinking]?/You should not have doubted [that I could keep you from sinking]!) [RHQ]”
Jesus aber streckte alsbald die Hand aus, erfaßte ihn, und sprach zu ihm: Kleingläubiger! warum zweifelst du?
32 Then Jesus and Peter got in the boat, and the wind [immediately] stopped blowing.
Und als sie in das Boot stiegen, legte sich der Wind.
33 All [of us disciples] who were in the boat worshipped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the (Son of/man two is also) God!”
Die aber im Boot waren, kamen, fielen vor ihm nieder und sprachen: Wahrhaftig! Du bist Gottes Sohn! (d. h. der Messias)
34 When we had gone further around [the lake in the boat], we came ashore at Gennesaret [town].
Und da sie hinübergeschifft waren, kamen sie in das Land Genezareth.
35 The men of that area recognized Jesus. So they sent [people to inform those who lived] in that whole surrounding region [MTY] [that Jesus was in their area]. [So the people] brought to Jesus all the sick people [who lived in that region].
Und da die Männer jenes Ortes ihn erkannten, sandten sie in jene ganze Umgegend, und brachten zu ihm alle, die sich übel befanden.
36 [The sick people] kept begging him to allow them to touch [him or] just to touch the edge of his robe [so that they would be healed]. And all who touched [him or his robe] were healed {he healed all who touched [him or his clothing]}.
Und baten ihn, daß sie nur die Quaste seines Kleides anrührten, und wie viele ihn anrührten, denen wurde geholfen.
